At Finca Monteblanco in Huila, Colombia, producer Rodrigo Sánchez has become one of the most respected innovators in coffee processing. Building on generations of coffee farming knowledge, Rodrigo has gained international recognition for developing fermentation techniques that unlock bold, expressive flavors while maintaining balance and drinkability. This lot showcases his philosophy perfectly: big fruit, big character, and incredible attention to detail.

The coffee is produced from Purple Caturra, a unique mutation prized for its naturally high sugar content and suitability for advanced fermentation. Rodrigo and his team create a carefully controlled culture using specific microorganisms, fruit extracts, blueberries, and natural sugars before introducing it to the coffee during a lengthy anaerobic fermentation. The goal isn't simply to create intensity, but to build layers of fruit character while preserving the coffee's structure and identity.

In the cup, this coffee is unapologetically fruit-forward. Massive notes of blueberry dominate the profile, supported by ripe blackberry, juicy plum, and a deep candy-like sweetness that lingers long after each sip. It's wild, funky, and incredibly fun, yet surprisingly balanced for such an adventurous coffee. If you love coffees that push flavor to the limit, this is one of the most exciting cups you'll taste all year.
